It's a "feature". IIRC, there was a bug report about this back in the
early days of lokkit and it was closed with WONTFIX.
That said, as long as you don't actually save/apply/whatever, it won't
overwrite your old settings. You can see what the old settings were by
looking in /etc/sysconfig/iptables (though I don't think that's a good
newbie solution).
The bottom line is, lokkit is a primitive tool for beginners. If you want
a real firewall tool, other good suggestions have been made in this
thread.
